what's so funny, and I've said it before, you atheists are just as bad as overbearing religious people, only you're "non-religious". If you don't believe in God, then GREAT! Shut up and keep it to yourself. No one likes to be preached to, no matter what it is you're preaching. Get a fuckin' clue, you fuckin' hypocrites.

[She said, preaching to people on myspace.]

i never said i haven't preached, do you need to go back to HS and take a reading comprehension course? there can't be anyone that enjoys being preached to, even if they preach, but if atheists are as perfect, and in the right which is what their point always seems to be, then they'd be perfect and not act in the same respect as some "ignorant" preacherman, which they so detest.

See, so long as people are preaching at me, I have the right to do the same. Oh, and I don't go around looking for people to preach to. If the conversation is already started, I'll join. But I really don't care enough to start it.

So...atheists shouldn't put forth their views, but they should sit back and take it when fundies preach? Because we all know that, to be just like the fundies, atheists would have to scream and shout and froth at the mouth while spouting the silliest viewpoints, and then when we're disagreed with switch to the \"We're being persecuted!\" defense.

Is there an \"Ultimate Pharisee\" Award or some similar way to recognize hypocrisy far above and beyond the call of fundyism? Because this post certainly deserves it! I'm amazed that it's rating isn't a lot higher than it is (3 as of this writing).

Tara: A hypocrite, scolding us for being hypocrites, and this becoming hypocritical in another way. Classic. (Of course, this is really no different from saying \"The Earth is flat\" and then saying \"I didn't tell a lie,\" except with hypocrisy instead of lying.)

Not to mention: We don't preach. It doesn't count as \"preaching\" to talk about the merits and truth of atheism in response to a Christian claiming atheists are bad, or when Christians want to take our rights in the name of their delusions. Preaching is when you hand out atheist pamphlets at random; people don't like it. It is not preaching to give an atheist pamphlet to someone who has just given you a Christian pamphlet; they may be pissed off, but they shouldn't give it if they can't take it! (Literally!) I was actually thinking about writing up some counter-pamphlets; I've had two Jesus nuts trying to convert me somewhat recently.

Also, Nekhbet: \"Tonto\" means \"foolish\" or \"silly\" more than \"stupid.\" You could always go with \"estúpido\" for stupid.

No surprize here. What is a long standing Christian solution to the wall between Christians and unbelievers? The unbelievers need to shut up and have no right to their opinion.

This isn't a perception of mine, church leaders have stated this point blank and have attempted for years and to this day to get such into the law books along with: Atheists loosing their right to vote, run for office, becomeing teachers and even suggest higher taxes for Atheist.

Of course they also demand enforced christian indoctrination in schools, goverment lands and public events. You know, so we can return to that great Christian nation THAT NEVER EXISTED

"there can't be anyone that enjoys being preached to, even if they preach, but if atheists are as perfect, and in the right which is what their point always seems to be, then they'd be perfect and not act in the same respect as some "ignorant" preacherman, which they so detest."

Pop quiz, hotshot, especially 'for those of you who don't habla'*: have you had a knock on your door, opened it, to find standing right there on your doorstep none other than Richard Dawkins? Did he tell you that if you didn't acknowledge that a 'God' didn't exist, and reject the Bible (and instead read and accept his books "The God Delusion" and "The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution"), that something unimaginably hideous would happen to you for eternity after you died?

...no? Well then. By your own admission (and logic) we Atheists are perfect. In fact, because we Atheists go out of our way to not proseltyse exactly the same way as you fundies do, 'as some "ignorant" preacherman' (your words, verbatim), ergo, we Atheists are more than infinitely superior to the likes of you. QED.

I love the smell of annihilated arguments in the morning. Smells like... victory.
